NSU Art Museum presents Teen Exhibition: CALL FOR TEEN ARTISTS!

CALLING ALL BROWARD TEENS:

ANNUAL TEEN ART EXHIBITION

Submission Deadline: 2/6/26 at 12 am

Opening Reception: 3/5/26 at 5 pm

Location: NSU Art Museum

Calling all Broward Teen Artists! Want to see your artwork displayed in an upcoming exhibition at NSU Art Museum? Submissions are now open for the third annual Teen Art Exhibition at NSU Art MuseumLost & Found. Submit your artwork through our digital application by February 6th to have your work considered for exhibition and for a chance to win prizes!


Lost & Found is a dynamic celebration of the fleeting, the forgotten, and the rediscovered, showcasing the vibrant creativity of teens from diverse backgrounds. In this annual exhibition, we explore the delicate balance between what slips away and what reappears, celebrating the beauty in both loss and discovery. Each piece invites viewers into a world where hidden treasures of imagination, personal memories, and whimsical moments come to life through the eyes of young artists.


The works on display in Lost & Found offer a glimpse into the unique ways teens interpret the process of finding and losing. The exhibition captures the magic of youth in transition, where moments of clarity often emerge unexpectedly amid the chaos of growing up. Whether through photography, sculpture, painting, or digital media—teens reveal their stories of what has been lost and what has returned, often in forms they could never have anticipated.


Through moments of wonder, whimsy, and insight, these works highlight the power of art to bring what is forgotten back into focus, offering a visual representation of how we navigate our personal histories, dreams, and desires. Lost & Found is a testament to the resilience of creativity, and a reminder that sometimes, the most profound discoveries are made when we least expect them.

Submission guidelines:

 

  • The online submission period is open through 12 am on Friday, February 6.
  • Drop-off time for physical pieces of art is February 13 – March 1 at NSU Art Museum (One East Las Olas Blvd., Ft. Lauderdale, 33301)
  • Applicants must be aged 13 to 19 years and must be attending high school in Broward County
  • All mediums are encouraged, including visual art, dance, music, writing, and performance. There is a maximum of 3 submissions per artist, and all artwork must be recent work made within the student’s high school term.


All submissions must be submitted through the online form or by emailing Education1@nova.edu.

SaveArtSpace New Open Call For Art!

Announcing New Open Call For Art!


SaveArtSpace: #FreeHappy
Curator: Cynthia von Buhler
Location: New York, NY
Open call ends: October 20, 2025

SaveArtSpace is proud to present #FreeHappy, a public art exhibition on billboard ad space in New York, NY, starting December 1, 2025, curated by Cynthia von Buhler.

Happy is not happy. Torn from her natural habitat and herd in Thailand as a baby, Happy has spent nearly 50 years in captivity at the Bronx Zoo. Like humans, elephants are deeply social animals—they don't thrive in isolation. Alone, they suffer from loneliness, stress, and depression. We want to give Happy the life she deserves: freedom, companionship, and care in an elephant sanctuary where she can finally be with others of her kind.

The only parameter is that the art features an elephant(s). It can also have people or other animals in it. 

We invite artists of all ages, styles, and talents to submit their artwork between September 22 and October 20, 2025 in order to be considered for the exhibition. This is an opportunity to have your work exhibited on billboard ad space in New York, NY.

#CallForArt --> SaveArtSpace x THE HERE AND THERE COLLECTIVE: Reinventing Asia Futurism / New York, NY - Open call ends August 12, 2024.


Announcing New Open Call For Art!


SaveArtSpace x THE HERE AND THERE COLLECTIVE: Reinventing Asia Futurism / New York, NY - Open call ends August 12, 2024. LEARN MORE HERE.

SaveArtSpace x THE HERE AND THERE COLLECTIVE is pleased to announce an open call focused on artists from the Asian Diaspora. All artists and creatives are invited to submit new or previously shown works for this iteration of SaveArtSpace. The following call is organized by Rosa Chang with the support of The Here and There Collective. 

Reinventing Asia Futurism, invites artists to submit works that explore what an “Asian” aesthetic is through a recontextualization, questioning, and/ or denouncement of such associations. Artists are encouraged to address how Asian identities can shape and be shaped by culturally and technologically advanced futures, and how these identities evolve within the larger global context. Historically, concepts such as techno-Orientalism have fed into stereotyped or exoticized depictions, portraying Asian countries as technologically advanced yet culturally alien.

This open call aims to subvert these outdated notions and highlight the complex realities of Asian futurity. As contemporary global dynamics shift, the interconnectedness of Asian communities in shaping their futures becomes more intricate and multifaceted, inviting a deeper exploration of historical, cultural, and technological contributions. Any artist who self-identifies as part of the Asian Diaspora is welcome to apply.

Artists of all ages and talents are invited to submit their artwork between June 25 and August 12, 2024. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on ad space in New York City.

Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (MOCA) Announces Open Call for Art on the Plaza 2024 Artist Submissions
— Applications open through December 29, 2023 —

North Miami, FL – November 14, 2023 – The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami (MOCA) is pleased to announce an open call for South Florida-based artists to submit their work for the 2024 Art on the Plaza series. The program invites artists to activate MOCA's Plaza with temporary public installations of site-specific art works, introducing and connecting the community with the breadth of the city's unique and inspiring artistic hub.

Inaugurated in 2021 with a series of temporary public art installations on MOCA North Miami's front plaza, the series provides an opportunity for local artists to engage with the Museum and its community, employing the physical outdoor space as a platform to elevate their works. The 2023 series featured South Florida artists including Edison Peñafiel, LIZN'BOW (Liz Ferrer and Bow Ty), Sterling Rook, and will close with Chris Friday, whose work, Narcissist, goes on view November 29. 

Throughout the years, MOCA has been championing the work of local artists while providing accessible opportunities for the community to participate and engage with the arts via free and public programming. This series is a continuation of that mission, offering an up-close, hands-on experience for local community members of all ages and backgrounds to witness the city's evolving arts ecosystem. 

Artists will submit a proposal for temporary public art installations spanning three to four months in duration. These submissions will be reviewed by a MOCA-appointed selection committee and selections will be announced on January 27, 2024. 

This year, three artists will be selected for installations to remain on view for four months. Each selected artist will be supported by MOCA through the fabrication, installation, and programming for  their project. 

Across the plaza, artworks could incorporate the building's façade, architecture, the central fountain and include free-standing elements or light-based projections. Alongside the installations, the museum will host relevant programming to coincide with each artists' occupation of the space throughout the year.

Interested artists can submit their qualifying materials electronically through the application portalThe deadline for submission of art projects is Dec. 29, 2023 by 11:59 p.m.

MOCA North Miami presents contemporary art and its historical influences through exhibitions, educational programs, and collections. Inspired by its surrounding communities, MOCA connects diverse audiences and cultures by providing a welcoming place to encounter new ideas and voices and nurturing a lifelong love of the arts.
